Time to reconvene APRC, says Tissa Vitarana

July 31, 2010  05:34 pm

Now is the opportune time to reconvene the All Party Representative Committee (APRC), Technology and Research Minister Tissa Vitarana told Adaderana this evening (July 31).

The decisions reached during the earlier rounds of talks by the APRC could be discussed further, Minister Vitarana said. Thirteen political parties arrived at several decisions during the earlier meetings and President Mahinda Rajapaksa has to take the final decision, he added.

The decisions of the APRC could be a fillip to the current attempts to amend the existing constitution. Any short coming could be ironed out through further discussions, Minister Tissa Vitarana reiterated.

Some people go a lifetime without knowing when people have stopped listening to them and when it´s time to shut up. You, Mr. Vitarana, are a prime example of such people.

Prof Vitharana has said what should be done for the benefit of the country, although the most people don´t understand it. If president is genuine, he should reconvene the APRC. If he doesn´t do it all of us will have to face another disaster in future.
